The Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art (CCCA) was founded in 1995 by Bill Kirby, with Peter D.R. Brown and Arthur B.C. Drache, Q.C. The CCCA is a federally incorporated, not-for-profit charitable arts organization, administered by a Board of Directors, and based in Toronto, Canada. It has been managed since its inception by Founder and Executive Director, Bill Kirby.

The focus of the CCCA's activity is the Canadian Art Database Project [www.ccca.ca]. The Project was established by Bill Kirby in 1996 and first appeared online the following year. Its purpose continues to be to introduce and showcase the careers of Canada's leading professional artists and art writers and to develop a context for their work by documenting the history of Canadian Art through the activities of Canada's artist groups and arts organizations.

Since 1996, The CCCA has been assembling a growing collection of previously inaccessible or hard-to-find, information on Canadian art in all media, and images, video and audio clips of works produced by a broad range of artists working in Canada.   More detail...
